RECORDING 8: THE THIRD MURDER.

[foundationmods]

A third week, and this is beginning to become routine. Waking on friday, with the knowledge deep down that your number has yet again decreased.

But you must still pull yourself from your bed, and discover who is now forever gone...

As you all rise and look towards a new day, the Miasma laps at your heels...

...And around whatever corpse now lingers in the hallways...

((OOC: 2 people max under a heading, please! Just to keep things easy on the mods. You can switch out with someone else during an investigation if needed.))

HALLWAY

[foundationmods]

[Specifically, The Hallway linking to Trophy Room to the Locked Room.]

[oxidegreen]

[They did receive a warning about the hallways, even if this... probably isn't what Mr. T had in mind.

What have we got going on here?]

[white_camellia]

[Of course the hallways comes first in the investigation.]

additional investigation

[sageking]

[ Coming in here real quick to check for what kind of magic he may be able to sense around in here. ]

TROPHY ROOM

[foundationmods]

[sageking]

[ Alllllright, what do we have going on here? ]

LIBRARY

[foundationmods]

[accrowed]

[ ok are the books on fire? ]

additional investigation

[sageking]

[ And the last place to check.

Time to see what kind of magic was used in here as well. ]

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT

[hitscans]

[ and once more, a booming voice is heard echoing through the hallways ]

LISTEN UP SOLDIERS

Your numbers have dwindled significantly. I'm glad to see that the incentive worked out better than expected. Flayn and Haku are both dead. Investigations are already in progress, and unless you're on them, your orders are to remain here.

As protocol, there will be a trial at 1200 hours. Any insubordination by not participating will result in your death. Oh, and as a reminder: as two bodies were found, that means you will be voting for two of your number for execution. Heh, have fun with that.

Dismissed!

[ and whoosh, he's gone ]

[onemolife]

[ Oh ]

[reanimania]

[ oh fuck ]

[cw_suicide]

[.... oh.

joy.

but also exhaling a breath and covering his face as he... tries not to think about how ugly this will go.





fuck.]

[finalring]

[ dammit. ]

[notbymyside]

[He distinctly remembers talking to people about this recently.]

[soupervillain]

Spearmint... N- Needles...

[tsunderine]

[there's.... a huge wave of relief that courses through Rin, although now she's immediately thinking about the fact that they will have to vote for two of their number...

that immediately brings conflict back into her puffy red eyes; she even looks like she's barely slept, too, but it isn't as if she was really paying attention to other people, much less her own roommates, given that HEY, BEING FULL OF MIASMA FUCKING SUCKS]

[dreamdispersal]

[ Zabuza goes very still and very silent at this announcement. If you didn't know better, he almost seems a little shell-shocked.

After the investigation, you can find him in the hallway by Haku's body. He's standing, staring down at it with a stone-faced expression. This isn't a sight he ever expected to see. In a lot of ways, it doesn't look real. A face this still and motionless and waxy doesn't register as Haku, dynamic smiling angelic Haku. It's just a body, a thing, like any other. And yet.... and yet....

If anyone approaches, he'll issue a warning: ]

I'm taking care of this body. Nobody else touches it.

[noneforall]

Haha...

[There's something flat in the laugh and the way it trails off, though the rest of his expression is smooth as always, eyes thoughtful and calculating. They all know what the numbers look like on this one; it remains to be seen how badly all the non-numerical things skew everything.

All things considered, though, it's still not as bad as one would expect.

For once, he keeps the rest of his thoughts to himself.]

[eyeforai]

[Ugh, another investigation that he has to sit out, and it was even two bodies this time. He’ll be standing in a corner of the living room with his arms crossed and appearing rather restless as he paces around the entrance some.]

Re: BODY ANNOUNCEMENT

[oxidegreen]

[BURSTING INTO THE STATIC AREA WITH SETETH AND NANAKA, PRESUMABLY.]

Haku's body is in the hallway. We need someone who can perform an autopsy.

There's also some sort of ball spewing miasma. Please be very careful.

[kaliedoscopes]

[ It's hard to say what Hikage was expecting, but it probably wasn't this. He's still after the announcement, expressionless. Several seconds tick by until he manages to mumble out a few words. ]

What was it that you said? And now I can't...

[zweivoltage]

[Ky arrives with Flayn's staff, his face looking rather stormy.]

[baitless]

[...yeah, so, Seteth missed quite a bit due to being unconscious, and he's kind of coming to? kind of. Like, he's actually coming around and... almost coherent! Still kind of fuzzy, though.]

...what... is going on...?

[maybe uh. maybe let him down gently.]

[golden_dream]

...

[At that announcement, Rosa's breathing just became more heavy. Her body more tense. But she stayed put.]
